Mariners Recall Domingo González as José A. Ferrer Goes on Paternity List

Bullpen injuries open a short audition for a hot Triple-A reliever.

Overview

  • The Mariners recalled right-hander Domingo González from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday after placing left-hander José A. Ferrer on the paternity list.
  • González will make his first big-league appearance when he takes the mound, stepping into a relief group that has leaned on new faces this month.
  • The 26-year-old posted 15 innings with a 1.80 ERA for Tacoma with a 23.7% strikeout rate, a 3.4% walk rate, and a heavy ground-ball profile.
  • Claimed off waivers from the Braves last August, González still has minor-league options, which lets Seattle move him between Tacoma and the majors as needs shift.
  • Ferrer has led Seattle relievers in appearances and innings this season, and with Carlos Vargas unavailable and Matt Brash and Gabe Speier on the 15-day IL, the club is giving depth arms like González a chance to stick.
